In 1995, the Marikina Government bought the sports center from the provincial government of Rizal and renamed it to “Marikina Sports Park”.

The Marikina Sports Park has an olympic-size oval and swimming pool. It also has areas for biking, boxing, tennis, table tennis, soccer, football, long jump, taekwondo, and aerobics. The grandstand can accommodate 15,000 people.
